I was making a list of things from the entertainment industry that I'm looking forward to this year, and several of the items were Star Trek novels. I was taking a break from Star Trek novels, but several of the books coming out this year require me to read volumes that I own and have either read once years ago, or never read at all. And it's not like I'm reading anything right now anyways.

The first new post-series Star Trek: Voyager book in 4 years comes out next month. It's the 5th in a series of books that take place after the series. I read the first 2 when they were new, and I enjoyed them. I started reading the 3rd one but couldn't get into it. I figured I'd just rush through them when a new volume came out, not realizing that it would be several years before that would happen. I'm thinking of rewatching the finale to Voyager and then reading the 4 volumes that I have so I'll be ready for the new one when it arrives. This 5th volume is written by an author that I've enjoyed in the past, and has to deal with many plots that I'm interested in. The author will release a 6th volume late in the year.

I want fritos. lol. I might go to the grocery store later.

In my reading about the things I'm looking forward to this year I discovered an article that I'd missed in which it was revealed that the 2nd Doctor Who special this year will actually be the Christmas Special. This confuses me as they're producing 4 2009 specials (the first airs on Easter), or at least they were. I'd heard rumblings that the final 2 specials were linked, and that they might be held back until late in December, but now it seems they might not air in 2009 at all. If they don't air this year that's 2 less Doctor Who installments in an already nearly Doctorless year. It doesn't help that Torchwood's been trunicated by 8 episodes. It sucks. But if this proves true then this means we'll have 2 extra Who installments next year, with the 10th Doctor no less.
